We cannot allow Putin and his cronies to get away with the vicious crimes they are committing. Impunity is not an option.

the issue we are talking about here is not a partisan issue.

we are not going to tolerate an agency saying, well, we do not like that law so we are not going to enforce it.

Well, and that is exactly what it was designed to do. It was to provide assistance without in any way affecting the other strong provisions that have been in place for many, many years and has worked--have worked very well.

We will work very hard on this effort. We are working hard. We will continue to work hard.

We will work very hard on this effort. We are working hard. We will continue to work hard.

Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you to our witnesses for appearing here today. We appreciate that.

I appreciate that. DFC was put together by us, I think for the exact--I mean, this is a poster child for what we want to use the DFC for.

I am a little disappointed in that answer, that it is not more aggressive and more recognizing of how important the DFC can be in what you are trying to do here.

We must view Russia not only as a serious adversary in its own right, but also recognize its role in U.S.-China competition.

Russia under Putin is an autocratic and imperialistic regime and poses an acute threat to the freedom and stability.

We send billions there and what do we get? Speeches, nothing more.

We need to accept that Russia sees this kind of diplomacy as weakness.

We must view Russia not only as a serious adversary in its own right, but also recognize its role in U.S.-China competition.

It appears the White House never really thinks about Russia until Moscow makes a move.

I think probably anybody that operates in this lane on diplomacy cannot be more disgusted with the U.N. than it is right now.

This Administration consistently and all too often worries about what Putin will do.

We need a policy where Putin wakes up every morning worried about what we will do.

I do not know how you can watch what has happened in Ukraine, the atrocities that have been committed there on a par with the kinds of things that happened in World War II and say, well, this is all right because they wanted to join NATO…

I think there is a real opportunity there and I think that we really ought to exploit it.
